abstract
The study was conducted on six cross bred cows with various sizes of pedunculated, multiple, cutaneous warts on various parts of the body including udder and teats. All animals were subjected to surgical excision of large growths under local analgesia by taking all aseptic precautions. The warts were collected for autogenous vaccine preparation. The adult animals were administered with 10 ml of vaccine and calves with 5 ml subcutaneously weekly once for 4 weeks and observed for regression of warts. Regression of papillomas occurred in about three weeks after the beginning of treatment and complete regression was observed after 15 – 20 days of last injection. All the animals recovered uneventfully.
